How do you know if someone you haven't seen in awhile is worried about you?

Would they really give up that you'll come back?

Neither would I. But perhaps that's the nature of separation. We forget.

I mean, I forget little stuff all the time if I haven't done it in awhile.

But not people, and especially not special people. I don't remember forgetting anyone anyway.

[reformedsinner]

Not entirely, of course. Not usually.

But one starts to forget details, and to miss them less. It takes quite a while to give up on seeing them again.

...But could you just forget that you were supposed to be waiting for someone? I guess it's not quite the same as giving up.

[reformedsinner]

No, it's not the same.

Do you have some reason to think that someone you haven't seen in a while might have forgotten they were waiting for you?
